Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

ICPPRP495 - Manipulate 3D graphics files in preparation for 3D printing

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Assess image quality

  1. Graphics file is received and requirements for precision, quality and materials are determined from specifications and confirmed with client
  2. Graphics file is assessed to select software required to perform adjustments
  3. File is opened and faults, imperfections and manifold errors are identified against client specifications
  4. Time and cost of work required to rectify identified faults, imperfections and errors are calculated
  5. Client is informed of work requirements and approval obtained for planned work

Evidence of the ability to:

communicate with client to ascertain needs

confirm client requirements for three-dimensional (3D) print output

determine work requirements and obtain client approvals

recognise faults, imperfections and manifold errors in 3D printer files

proposed printed material

printing technology

wall thickness

file resolution limits

conversion between software

support structure

explain the relationship between 3D graphics modelling software and 3D graphics image software, including:

file types

function of the software

main image editing tools

scale and units

describe "Cartesian coordinate system" and how it relates to 3D graphics file manipulation

describe the purpose of "slicing" in the preparation of G-Code for 3D object build

describe the effect of setting resolution and deposition thickness in 3D graphics on 3D print output quality.
